The real question still remains: when and where will it play here? (I would think BBCAmerica being the obvious "where" answer)

I think they want to get it on a more high profile channel than BBCAmerica or PBS.

It hasn't been made since 1989 (with the exception of the TV movie in 1996), so that doesn't say a whole lot! :)

The last thing I heard was that either Bravo or A&E stood the best chance of getting it; I'd say either of those would be a good choice. Since Bravo is owned by NBC, if they got it there would probably be a good chance of the show airing on Sci-Fi eventually, since it also falls under the NBC umbrella.

Heh, true, but I was big on watching old episodes on public television, reading novelizations, etc.

I wonder what the TARDIS interior will look like. What was the deal with the huge control room in the TV movie?

They had a lot of money that they didn't know what to do with?

How about a gay Doctor?

A black female Doctor... Thandie Newton.

(Now that's an idea I could get behind. Or under. Or on top of.)

Doctor Who - teaser trailer now UP!
 

The Official BBC site has a 30 second trailer for the new Doctor Who series. It's not much, but it does get my blood pumping!

For those of you who cant download the trailer - heres a discription of the action (spoilerized for your protection):



Oh - good news. The trailer is letterboxed, lending support to the belief that the show is 16:9. Sweet.

This page has the teaser in AVI and MPEG2 formats, if realplayer doesnt sit well with you. . . .

Thanks. I'm wondering when we will get this in the US.

Well, I know that the lady in charge of the DVD releases in the US said that she was VERY keen on getting the show released here as soon as she could. So we wont have a long lag time between the UK premere and US release - I hope.

this teaser is not worth watching

So, I'll bite - what exactly did you want from a teaser?

I got to hear the Doctor Who Theme music, so I'm happy.

Best sci fi series ever! The teaser is great, I can't wait to see it.

I wanted more after watching it and isn't that what a teaser trailer is suppose to do?

Can't wait. Couldn't find any info about when it would be televised over here but then again I cant find any info as to when it is premiering in the UK either.

It has everything you need to know about the new series. How many episodes. How long each episode is. 16X9. Series writers, directors and actors. And most importantly....WHEN the show premieres! It has a great FAQ for you to gander through.

So far: A press release on 12/1 from the BBC mentions the new Doctor Who series as part of the "Winter Highlights," noting the forthcoming series as being targeted for debut in 2005. "Acclaimed actor Christopher Eccleston hits our screens this winter as Doctor Who with Billie Piper as the Doctor's companion Rose Tyler. More details will be released early next year."

So sometime in winter, the Doctor will grace TV again.

Today's news is: The New Zealand television station Prime TV have announced that they've picked up the new Doctor Who series, according to a press release on their website.

So far no news on where the Doctor will turn up in America yet.

Andrew

Well, he does sound like the Doctor I suppose :) Other than that, not much to report!

Well, it's certainly named correctly: that was a big tease. :)
